Photo Walk: Spending the morning in Tsim Sha Tsui Park, and along Hong Kong Museum of History

Tsim Sha Tsui is a cape on the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula pointing towards Victoria Harbour, opposite of Central. Tsim Sha Tsui in Chinese means "pointed sandy Mouth". It was known as Heung Po Tau, a port for exporting incense tree. Tsim Sha Tsui is a major tourist hub in metropolitan Hong Kong, with many shops and restaurants that cater to tourists

Nap Time for workers. In Hong Kong, workers are usually seen having siesta after having lunch. You can see them sleeping, and doesn't mind the things happening around them.

The Hong Kong Museum of History was established in July 1975 when the City Museum and Art Gallery was split into the Hong Kong Museum of History and Hong Kong Museum of Art. But some of the Museum's collections date back to the City Museum and Art Gallery founded in 1962 at the City Hall. In 1983, the Museum was moved to the temporary accommodation in Kowloon Park. It was moved to its present premises on Chatham Road South, Tsim Sha Tsui in 1998.

I honestly couldn't get enough of Hong Kong. I guess it will take me awhile to memorize the place, as most of the places I've visited here interest me. Hong Kong indeed is Asia's center for commerce, and I also believe that this island is the door for unlocking the greatest history of Asia. Maybe I'm just got addicted studying Asian history, but one thing I am sure and still believe. No matter how civilized and more modern a place is, it never fails to surprise and amaze me.
